For those of you who haven't met me yet, I am a 3D model working for Vanishing Point.I like to think of myself as a serious actor, more inclined to action roles than the soft romantic comedy roles. This thread is for anyone who has any questions about me, or would like to post renders, give their opinions about me, or give me any feedback about any problems they may be having with me.
So, let me first tell you a bit about myself. I am a low polygon figure, and as you can see from the picture, I spend a lot of time in the gym to keep my polygon count down. Because of the low polygons, I am not always the best choice for the extreme close up shots, but when it comes to animation, multiple figures in a scene, or middle distance work, I am definitely the man for the job.
I spent over a year in training and development to ensure that I would have the maximum compatibility with BVH, motion and pose files, and I work well with poses made for Poser 4 and 7 figures, most BVH files, and I personally think that I am very good at posing.

There are some free items available for me so far, and loads of uniforms, clothes, poses, motion files, morphs, hair styles and props in production for use with me. The wonderful PhilC is working on Wardrobe Wizard compatibility for me, and I know of quite a few people working on some fine outfits and textures for me.I am a standard Poser figure, which means that there is nothing about me that prevents normal use, so if you know how to use Mike, Simon, or any of my fellow workers, you will know how to use me. I have a few enhancements though. I have some advanced controls on my hands, neck and collars, which make it slightly easier to pose me, and I also have these really cool built-in muscle deformation morphs, which means that my muscles actually respond realistically, so if I bend my abdomen, my stomach muscles will tense, and the same for my arm and leg muscles.
You can have a look at my posing in the video.

So, onto the questions I have had so far.Yes, I am anatomically correct, or in the words of some forum members, I have a winkie, pee wee, tinkle, or some other odd names I wouldn't care to mention here.
Yes, there is a girl who is going to start working at Vanishing Point as well, called Valerie Petrov, but no, she is not my girlfriend, I personally can't stand her, totally opinionated and she has a real bad attitude. In fact, if she got into a scrap with Vicky, Stephanie, Miki, or any of the other Poser girls, my money would be on her, she is mean!!!!
Yes, there are some face morphs sets and new face textures being created, so I will be able to play a few other roles as well. I know of an old man face, African and scarred texture and face sets so far, and there will also be an Orc character coming soon.
This picture is from an upcoming freebie with hair fit files for some of the free hairstyles out there.

So, if you have any questions, comments, opinions, complaints, or if you want to offer me a movie contract, this is the thread to do it in.Oh, and this pic is from a forthcoming stand alone figure based on me, that shares poses, face textures and morphs, etc, but doesn't need my base files to work.
The above video is a test to show how well I work with a BVH file, straight off an internet site and created by motion capture, totally unedited and raw. I think it looks quite cool.

A man in middle age like you looks wise and experienced.
Passion is anger and love combined. So if it looks
angry, give it some love!

We are working on loads of clothing, but as you know, clothing is not the easiest thing in the world, and I have a list as long as my arm to get through. Business suit has been started, but I can't give a release date yet.
In the meantime, this is the latest from the Vincent line.

Lol, Esther, that is definitely Panko's gun, and his helmet, pouches, caps, belts, pouches, etc. The set includes 17 poses, and set-up poses, and loadfs of MAT's. We counted today, the set contains 514 files, of which Panko made about 450!!!!
As far as I know, this is a totally new rifle from Panko.

No, There are standalone characters being made for Vincent that are fat, skinny, etc. The reason I decided not to do it with morphs is because it will just load down the character when it comes to animations, and also, making a standalone character allows me to add some fancy stuff, like belly wobble movements, that will not be possible with a morphed character. But before I get to that I have four uniforms to finish for him, so patience, lol.
